This blog chronicles Cleveland's very own musical Lottery League, now in its second "season" of 2010. The Lottery League, started in 2008, set a precedent for creativity and fun that hopes to be matched in 2010.
The idea: start with 144 area musicians, randomly drawn into 33 groups. Give them 10 weeks to prepare for a live showcase featuring all the bands who survive the experiment.

BAND LINEUPS

FINAL BAND LINEUPS

These lineups are the results of the official "Lotto League" draft night held at Asterisk gallery, Saturday night, February 2nd, 2008.

Again, each musician and artist were chosen randomly with the only rule being that of "compatibility", which was determined by all players only being allowed to be in bands with others they have never been in bands with before.

*The band "The Anal Cheetahs" (drafted as Band - XXVII) in the proper spirit of this, and in following the very few important rules of this league, has already named their band. As all the other band names get sent into the Council they too will replace the only temporary roman numeral naming.
